That explains why the insignia has not changed since then. In a way it makes for an enjoyable nostalgia trip. As I quite enjoy riding services that are unique to Mondays-Fridays (or weekends for that matter) I shall probably still ride it. I have yet to ride a refurbished FCC class 317, so can ride one from King's Cross to Finsbury Park, then onto Moorgate.
If you look closely you'll see a lot of NSE stuff around on the FCC GN network.. ;)

Gotta love it, especially when FCC have just introduced another type of branding for stations :lol:

Check Arlesey out, it's got NSE signs, with the NSE bit covered over with WAGN vinyl, which is then covered over with FCC vinyl :lol:

That's nothing new, Watton at Stone's been like that for well over 5 years!

If you really want to refer to new signage, try St Neots for one, ;)

What have they decided to change to now?

I had to drive to my office today, so I went by Essex Road - a station I've never actually used and only ever pass through. The last time I drove by at street level was in the Wagn days, and I was quite surprised to see the way they've done it up. There's no BR logo (that I could see), and it has an illuminated sign that makes it look look more a disco than a railway station!!

There are First logos on the doors too, which seems like overkill. It's a train station, not their office (which, doesn't have First logos visible on the outside!)

TfL is the same - you'd think with the massive roundels on tube stations they would have something to mark the front door of their offices... apart from a tiny CCTV sign that says 'controlled by Transport for London' on it!

They don't want people to know where to push the dog sh*t through the letterbox!

Ah, missed that.

Scroll up the road to see the entrance and tell me it doesn't look like a nightclub!! Essex Road would even be a great name for a club too!
